Raj Katha Shibir - Mar 24 - 26, 2017

On the auspicious occasion of celebration of 150th birth anniversary year of Param Krupalu Dev Shrimad Rajchandraji, Jain Center of Southern California is pleased to invite you to a 3 day Raj Katha shibir being held from Friday, March 24th to Sunday, March 26th. Swadhyaykar Atmarpit Rajuji from Dharampur, India, will conduct the sessions.

No one is born a Saint! But rather they achieved this state with a beautiful development of various spiritual qualities. All these Saints were ordinary people just like us….who mastered the balance of Spiritual and Material life while nurturing their Soul. They were TRUTH seekers and TRUTH Achievers.

For those who wish to be Truth Seekers, you may not know what characteristics you need to possess.

Learn this in the upcoming Workshop/Shibir which is:

"Discover the Powerful You": THE QUALITIES OF A TRUTH SEEKER

TESTIMONIALS FROM THE LAST YEAR SHIBIR:

Ms. Sonaly Dudhekar: "I felt the shibir was very helpful. The way of teaching by Jitenbhai was very practical, simplistic....and the emphasis was more on how to apply than theory. I think the methods and the tools he shared with us, we can easily adapt to. So, I feel like it was one of the best workshop I had."

Ms. Priti Khara: "Shibir was very enlightening. Usually you listen to all the gurus who are older than you. For a change, this time I was listening to someone who was much younger than me and having so much wisdom. He answered questions which were in my mind and which were unspoken; and that really cleared a big cloud and gave us a proper path and vision of how to improve our life."

Dr. Bindesh Shah "Shibir was excellent. અમને બહુ લાભ મળ્યો. It has given me strength and pathway to spiritual life."
